Aliceheimer's : Alzheimer's through the looking glass / Dana Walrath by Walrath, Dana. The Pennsylvania State University Press, [2016] Call #: 362.196831 W221a Subjects Alzheimer's disease -- Patients -- Family relationships -- Biography   Alzheimer's disease -- Patients -- Biography.   Caregivers -- Biography.   Mothers and daughters -- Biography Series Graphic medicine. ISBN:  9780271074689 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Alzheimer's through the looking glass Description:  72 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Notes:  Reprint of: Aliceheimer's / Dana Walrath. Yerevan, Armenia, Harvest Publishers, 2013 Summary:  "Alice has Alzheimer's, and while she can remember all the songs from The Music Man, she can no longer attend to the basics of caring for herself. Alice moves to live with her daughter, Dana, in Vermont, and the story begins. A series of illustrated vignettes, daily glimpses into their world with Alzheimer's. Walrath's time with her mother was marked by humor and clarity: "With a community of help that included pirates, good neighbors, a cast of characters from space-time travel, and my dead father hovering in the branches of the maple trees that surround our Vermont farmhouse, Aliceheimer's let us write our own story daily - a story that, in turn, helps rewrite the dominant medical narrative of aging." Walrath enrobes the story with cut-up pages from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, weaving elements from Lewis Carroll's classic throughout her text, using evocative phrases from the novel to introduce the vignettes, such as "Disappearing Alice," "Missing Pieces," "Falling Slowly," "Curiouser and Curiouser," and "A Mad Tea Party." Creating this book allowed her not only to process her grief over her mother's dementia, but also "to remember the magic laughter of that time." Graphic medicine, she writes, "lets us better understand those who are hurting, feel their stories, and redraw and renegotiate those social boundaries. Most of all, it gives us a way to heal and to fly over the world as Alice does." Dana Walrath, an anthropologist, artist, and writer, is on the faculty of the University of Vermont College of Medicine and the author of Like Water on Stone.
